Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 1, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,290 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 2 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (76 of 136). Evening rush dominates here: 1,800 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,538 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,538 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,800 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 6 collisions (38%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 18, 2007.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
On Danforth Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Thora Ave, 233 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (182 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 108,938 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
